Macarooned

Mac is marooned, hungry, and pines for the lush tropical island across the water – if he can only get past Feargal the Shark, who happens to be hungry too.
Directors Alan Short & Seamus Malone
Producer Samantha Plaisted

Neon

The world is poisoned. A sacrificial population is tasked with carving out a clean passage with neon lights between pockets of surviving civilisation. One ‘runner’ dares to race for her life against all the odds. Neon is a break-neck cyberpunk action sci-fi set in a future decaying world.
Director Rioghnach Ní Ghrioghair
Producer Flaminia Iacoviello

Where is Eva Hipsey?

This film is about transformation: the ordinary into the extraordinary, images into sound, presence into memory, an elderly woman into an intrepid adventurer.
Director Orla Mc Hardy
Producer Nicky Gogan

Producer Michael Algar

Time Traveller

Director Steve Kenny
